I am replacing a Windows 7 Home premium computer with a new Windows 11 system. I would like to know how this transfer worked for you and how it was accomplished?

Weather Display ver.10.37s 143 current configuration.

Thanks in advance,
Bill Percy

Can you tell me if there should be any problem going from Windows 7 Home Premium to Windows 11 Home?

For WD I don’t think so, Brian’s compiler covers both AFAIK.

But it will be a culture shock for you :grinning:

I use a program called PC Mover it will copy everything from old computer to new one. I have moved four computer no problems. Recommended buy Microsoft. Cost about $40.00 usd. will worth then money. I used the one with the cable connected to wan port RS45.

If they are on the same LAN, you can just copy. Or use a USB memory stick.

Thanks for the advice. I am wondering if I should update to windows 10 before I try anything. Has anyone had any difficulties doing this? I am on Windows 7 home premium.

I think I updated to Win10 in 2017, and I can’t remember anything about it.

You’re over-thinking this, just do it: it’ll be fine.

I updated from Windows 7 to windows 11. Follow all the steps to transfer and everything should be ok. I think I lost my FTP settings, but that was my fault if I remember correctly. Used an old version of the registry backup.

Well, I finally was able to make the transfer. Things have worked out and I am able to see the data except for one day. I’ll work that out. Thank you all for your help and advice.
